An immensely under rated song...and went under the radar for most of his career unless you were a true diehard. A truely emotional song and you wonder how much of this was steeped in a personal experience. I enjoyed both this version and the extended version.
I was at this concert!!!! I remember him singing this song that night!!! I was 13 years old. My 2 friends and I completely lost our voices (and my friend's mom probably lost some of her hearing, lol) because we were screaming almost non-stop the entire concert...along with pretty much everyone else in that audience!! OMG little did we know we were witnessing something so rare and so very special!!!!! 💜🙏💜
"Lo and behold, you were dead and I said it's senseless." If that ain't life imitating art. The irony of these lyrics, and now we're spending a lonely Christmas without him. So sad.
Some doesn't understand; one can be an artist and/ or a common person and have multiple people around them but they can still feel alone. because they know spiritually, those people aren't there for them. Prince was amazing! he spoke through his lyrics PS. only a mother love
So true... One can be in a room with 100 people and still feel all alone.. You're absolutely 100% right about a mother's love.. On that note check out his performance of "A motherless child" if it's still on TH-cam
He was our northern star!!! Proud to say I was NOMI born and raised - in Prince's hometown, North Minneapolis! Kinda cool now that I think about it... the name of my elementary school was North Star Elementary (North Star Bears!) And I went to North High School (North Polars!) 💜🅿💜👑💜🎆💜😭💜🙏💜🌟💜🌠💜⭐💜✨💜💫💜
Them 45 we played over and over until they was worn. I was just a teen. I recall catching Prince attention at a concert at the Remac arena in 1998 in Cali and he gave me a smirk.
I do cherish it. I was front stage with my young wife who took me to the concert. He was singing "if I was your girlfriend". A lot of woman was there of course. I was singing along for I love Prince music. Prince had this good pistol microphone and he held it out to me for like a split second. I sung it loud and proud. Prince gave me this cross eye look and smirked as he pulled the microphone away. It brings me a tear of joy to relive this moment.
I still regret not making my Mom let me go to the purple rain concert in the 80s I was in 7th or 8th grade I think but I was such a fan I recorded the purple rain record onto a cassette and took it apart made it to play it backwards to play the end of darling Nikki for my family to hear.Anyway so sad outta the 1000s of shows I have been to over the years I never got to a Prince show!I can't begin to explain how much I loved his music U also chose this version of the song because it was uploaded on a 12/21 my wife died 12/21/10 so another lonely Christmas is mine!I miss u Mishna
I feel we must be around the same age. LOL, I had to seriously pressure my folks for permission to go too. They relented thankfully, which actually surprised me. This was the show I went to...upper level w my 2 best friends at the time. Made us Prince addicts for the rest of our natural lives!
We will never see anything like him ever again. PRINCE was special. 🤴this is the kinda talent is rare. Nobody will be blessed with this much talent in one body.
Thank u so much... so beautiful... 💜💜 Every xmas without u prince is a lonely one ...... Love u 4 ever 💜💜💜💜 He was a present send from heaven .... And now his back home 💜💜 hope we all meet him again ...
My heart tells me he was crying out for love!!!! I HEAR his pain,I feel so so sad for him ,never got the chance to have a Baby, he wanted so Much to be a father,hopefully in his next life time he gets everything he ever wanted!!! R.I.P PRINCE ROGERS NELSON 💜💜💜
The baddest entertainer that ever grace this side of the earth ,his music will last forever, James Brown had his time ,But didn't know that God our farther would Produce one Ok,that would take us into generations to come ,i could talk about this musical genius forever ,Thank u Prince
It been 33 yes since prince did this song live and a year ago since we lost him and sky arts did another documentary on Saturday 23rd December about people we lost in 2017 a sequel to the programme about musicians we lost in 2016.
This song just breaks me down 2 my knee's makes me cry... I lost my fiance' on Dec. 25th 1999.... I luv u Cindy.... I miss u so dearly, no 1 has touched me, my heart, my soul like u have & I can not wait 2 see u on the other side of this thing we call life, I'm all aboard & ready baby
-5 degrees in MPLS tonight. My cousin casually suggested we bring a solitary rose to the Prince star @ First Ave. Wouldn’t have given it a thought if it weren’t for this masterful, beautiful, sad, whatever. No adjectives can do this joint justice. Thanks, 0(+>.
This craziest thing about this song is we had just went on Christmas break and I was missing My Crush who had just given me a Christmas card, her picture inside and her number! Even though I had all three, this song somehow made me miss her! Peace!
Definitely the holiday song for Christmas 2020. I played this over, over and over when it was released and every Christmas since. It hits different this year.
So sad, yet so devoted & so heart touching!! It really moves the heart!! An exquisitely beautiful song!! You can tell that Prince really put his heart into writing this & singing it!! Such a wonderful gift from our beloved, sweet Prince!! Prince's incredible voice really excelled singing it!! He played the guitar so beautifully & masterfully!! I love this so deeply!! This is a real masterpiece!! You remain rightfully our true, one & only Master forever, Prince!! Thank-you so much for all that you did for us, Prince!! You gave us so much to charish forever!! We miss you, love you,charish you, will never forget you, & hold you in our hearts forever, our forever divine Prince!! Purple Power!!
My girlfriend was at this show and I was in ft Lauderdale hearing it on the radio. I loved the song and tried to get a copy and music store (the old way you got lps and tapes for the kids) when we met in May she told me her xmas present was a ticket and Prince gave them all a song and I said another lonely Christmas, it was love from that point and I was in. Thanks Prince for letting me ride, damn it was a thrill and your contribution to the world unmeasurable. RIP Little Man
It shows you the Mastermind applying great music words music what are things in honey Spirit my body and soul one cannot live without the other if you're getting this will you listen to this or you're reading this may God bless you particular all your problems if you put your heart in faith in Jesus this is my prayer this is my prayer amen amen
Words......How can we describe so much pain, sorrow, sadness, LONELINESS, confusion.....when you passed away, you took a piece of the Worlds Heart with you, Prince, WE ALL MISS U more than you'll ever know, rest in peace for now Dear Friend, WE ALL WILL see you again in Paradise...06/07/1958~04/21/2016 G.O.A.T
Prince still has an incredible impact that sinks right into hearts round the world. This is the effect of his art= his love. Happy 2018!!! Keep the Purple Peace.
I use to drive around the Highway every Christmas evening listening to this And Thinking about my Ex that died right before Christmas.. And that was 19 years ago. And this song still brings deep heavy Tears in my eyes....I Love Baby and I Truly Miss You....We was suppose to be together 4 ever...

My god was you so lucky 😥
What a wonderful memory.
I was there too. I bought one of those "puppet-Cones" that was in the movie. However...through out the chaos of my life I no longer have it. SUCKS!!!!
Man this going to be another lonely Christmas without the only one I dream about the love of my life, Prince why did you have to leave me?
We're probably all here for the same reason, so whoever is scrolling through the comments with tears in their eyes like I am - feel hugged.
Sending hugs back! WOW, this is HARD!
Amen
That's my life now 2018
@Chi Funk Thanks. I'm having an extremely lonely Christmas eve....
I thought it would get better as time went on. But I feel better knowing others are here.
I was happy to live in the same era MR PRINCE👍👍👍
"Lo and behold, you were dead and I said it's senseless." If that ain't life imitating art. The irony of these lyrics, and now we're spending a lonely Christmas without him. So sad.
Yup
And think about him. He was always lonely. His entire life...I think that was what really killed him, along with physical pain
This song is a true classic.......Prince will always be the G.O.A.T.
Goosebumps! The one and only time this was played live, I'm almost in tears over here!
drwood1962, I cannot count how many times I have cried and how often I still do. Health and peace to you.
drwood1962, have you checked out this interview with Dr. Susan Rogers?

I'm a grown man 😢Damn onions
Never heard this song live until now.
Another Lonely Christmas without Prince is such a drag.
Radical Bryan it grows on you as you mature and it could possibly just be the live version
Radical Bryan
Radical Bryan you can say that again 😏
it is a b-side about vanity it is longer then this have you heard old friends for sale or others here with us
Radical Bryan 😭😢
I miss him soooooooooooooooooo much I'm in tears listening to this I still feel it wasn't his time to leave us.
The guitar solo at the end flawless. My god was we so lucky to have him as long as we did. We miss you 🤴
We were lucky to have our lives intersect with his. I was lucky to have seen him in ‘84. ❤️
Some doesn't understand; one can be an artist and/ or a common person and have multiple people around them but they can still feel alone. because they know spiritually, those people aren't there for them. Prince was amazing! he spoke through his lyrics

One of the most beautiful songs ever written and sadly only played live once.
U were brighter than the northern star⭐i miss u so much, Prince💔, ty for sharing your music with us.💜

Always my Christmas song, and FOREVER WILL BE. I LOVE U PRINCE.
Carmen Montoro, I listen to this song very Christmas as well as Alexander O’Neal ‘My Gift to You’
Classic Prince.. One of the most talented artist ever. Great music.
Best Christmas song EVER. Beautifully written. I had this 45..it was the b/side of I would Die 4 U. Thanks for posting this version.
I think I still have mine somewhere in my old 45 record stash! I need to take a look!
Them 45 we played over and over until they was worn. I was just a teen. I recall catching Prince attention at a concert at the Remac arena in 1998 in Cali and he gave me a smirk.
Awww what a thrill that must have been!! I would have cherished that moment for eternity! 💜✝️💜

I heard Prince performed this song live only once.
It feels my heart with love and hope to see all of you coming and watching this GENIUS. "YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE I CARED FOR"
Lonely Christmas again and looks like forever. My heart will go on!
I never heard this version before and his songs always sound better live, he always had that magic touch.
Incredibly beautiful guitar!!! Beautiful Prince!!!
